Sky-high heels. That was what triggered me to google who the hack designed those shoes. Voila! Alexander McQueen, his 2010 Spring Summer collection of course . Initially I wanted to blog about how creative directors nowadays are secretly plotting a mass-killing of skinny models by letting them trip-tumble-die while wearing 12-inch heels. Later on, I was intrigued to find out the story behind such grotesquely-looking heels.
You see what I mean. They resemble odd-looking animals, don't they? The first thing that sprung to mind was "They look like giant moths and deadly sea-creatures that even dinosaurs have to greet 'Grandpa' ". Followed by "How the hell did they manage to walk on those?!" After watching the fashion show, the answer came naturally... 'awkwardly'. When you thought it's funny when models look identical with the same hair and stick figure, you will be more amused when models walked with the same degree of awkwardness when put on these mini stilts.
Ladies & gentlemen, I give you Plato's Atlantis, the link!
Though I personally will not want to trip-tumble-die on these heels, I must say I like the story behind this collection. He has vision, this man. He's Darwin of the 21st century, trying to teach us Evolution.
I don't mind the past if it's filled with human beings trying to camouflage themselves like insects. And coiffure that resembles feelers. It was already the past anyway.
But please! Don't let his prophecy about the future becomes true. I don't want pale shimmery faces. I don't want my feelers to grow higher & bigger, becoming mini vertical spaceships. And very importantly, I don't want to be browless.. I need those things to attract the opposite species.
End of show.
By the way if you want sky high shoes, you can still get them at Nina Ricci's F/W 09 collection. Good luck stilt man! :)
